The George Floyd Situation Was Gaslighting

THE GEORGE FLOYD SITUATION WAS THE ULTIMATE GAS LIGHT. LOOK WHAT IT DID TO THE COUNTRY.

TRUTH: (Looking Back)

America went WOKE over George  Floyd. The country got GASLIT.

Those 4 Minneapolis Police Officers should not only NOT be in Prison, they should be back on their jobs.

The KNEE ON THE KNECK was a TRAINED procedure in the Minneapolis Police Department. If you don't believe it watch 'The Fall of Minneapolis'.

George  Floyd had COVID-19. He also had Fentynol in his system. He floated a fake $20 Bill. None of this was really explained.

We were GASLIT...And the Democrats along with Government agencies and corporate America basically did REGIME CHANGE as George Floyd was used as the PAWN.

Look what it did to the country. Look ar how we treated each other...It was FAKE NEWS!

Title: Examining the George Floyd Case: Claims, Context, and Consequences

The 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody ignited a firestorm of protests, policy debates, and polarized narratives. While much of the public discussion centered on systemic racism and police accountability, alternative perspectives have emerged, including claims that the officers involved were unjustly punished, that Floyd’s death was misrepresented, and that the incident was exploited for political purposes. This article examines these controversial assertions, contextualizes them within broader debates, and explores the implications of such narratives.

The Core Claims: A Summary

A viral social media post encapsulates several provocative arguments about the George Floyd case:  

1. The four Minneapolis police officers should not be in prison and should instead be reinstated.  

2. The “knee on the neck” restraint used on Floyd was a trained procedure.  

3. Floyd’s COVID-19 diagnosis and fentanyl use—not police actions—caused his death.  

4. The incident was weaponized by Democrats, corporations, and government agencies to execute a “regime change” using Floyd as a “pawn.”  

These claims challenge mainstream perceptions of the case. To evaluate them, we must dissect each argument against available evidence and legal outcomes.

The Officers’ Actions: Training, Policy, and Accountability

The most incendiary claim is that Derek Chauvin’s knee-on-neck restraint was a sanctioned tactic. Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) policy at the time allowed “conscious neck restraints” (applied to compliant suspects) but prohibited unconscious restraints. Chauvin’s use of the prone position, with his knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, deviated from protocol. MPD Chief Medaria Arradondo testified during Chauvin’s trial that the restraint was “not part of our training” and violated department values.  

The argument that the officers deserve reinstatement ignores the legal process. Chauvin was convicted of murder after a jury reviewed footage, medical testimony, and police guidelines. The other officers (Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane) were found guilty of federal civil rights violations. Their sentences reflect judicial scrutiny of their actions, not a “gaslighting” of the public.

George Floyd’s Health and Toxicology Report

Floyd’s autopsy revealed fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system, as well as a prior COVID-19 infection. However, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.” Independent experts, including Dr. Andrew Baker, clarified that while drugs and health conditions were factors, the primary cause was the officers’ restraint.  

Critics who emphasize Floyd’s fentanyl use often overlook key context: the level in his system was consistent with both fatal and non-fatal overdoses, and his behavior before the restraint (e.g., speaking, resisting) did not align with acute overdose symptoms. The defense’s argument that drugs killed Floyd was presented at trial but rejected by jurors, who found Chauvin’s actions to be the proximate cause of death.

The Counterfeit Bill and Police Response

Floyd was detained after a store clerk alleged he used a counterfeit $20 bill—a nonviolent, low-level offense. Critics argue this detail was downplayed, but the appropriateness of the police response is central to the case. Even if Floyd had committed a crime, the severity of the restraint (which continued after he was handcuffed and pleading for air) raised questions about proportionality. The incident reflects broader concerns about policing minor offenses, particularly in communities of color.

Aftermath: Protests, Politics, and “Regime Change” Rhetoric

The claim that Floyd’s death was exploited for a “regime change” hinges on the massive societal response. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests that followed were among the largest in U.S. history, prompting corporations to voice support for racial justice, cities to reconsider police funding, and legislators to propose reforms like the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.  

Conservatives have framed these responses as an overreach or a partisan power grab. However, the push for police reform predated Floyd’s death; his case became a catalyst due to its visceral video evidence and timing during a pandemic when societal inequities were starkly visible. While some corporate and political reactions may have been performative, attributing the movement to a coordinated “regime change” oversimplifies grassroots demands for accountability.  

The Danger of “Gaslighting” Narratives

The post’s assertion that the public was “gaslit” relies on cherry-picked facts (e.g., focusing on fentanyl while ignoring the medical examiner’s conclusions) and conspiracy-tinged language (“regime change”). Such narratives risk undermining legitimate discourse about policing and justice. For example:  

- Chauvin’s trial included rigorous cross-examination of evidence; the verdict was reached by a jury, not political fiat.  

- While reforms like defunding the police are debatable, attributing them to a shadowy cabal dismisses democratic engagement.  

Floyd’s case undeniably became symbolic, but symbolism is not synonymous with manipulation. His name resonated because his death exemplified patterns of excessive force documented in countless other cases (e.g., Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor).

Conclusion: Truth, Justice, and Moving Forward

The George Floyd case is not a binary issue of “woke gaslighting” versus “unquestionable truth.” It is a complex intersection of legal accountability, systemic inequities, and societal reckonings. Key takeaways include:  

1. Legal Process Mattered: The officers’ convictions resulted from evidence reviewed in court, not mob rule.  

2. Context is Crucial: Floyd’s health and drug use were factors, but the restraint’s role in his death was validated by experts.  

3. Societal Change is Messy: Movements like BLM amplify long-standing grievances; labeling them as “regime change” ignores their organic origins.  

To heal divides, we must engage with facts, acknowledge systemic flaws, and resist reducing tragedies to political ammunition. George Floyd’s legacy should prompt nuanced dialogue—not fuel misinformation.
